Are “Clintonites” undermining the president by spreading panic to his reelection campaign? Not really, no. Some people formerly associated with Bill Clinton did release a strategy document saying the president should change his economic messaging in order to appeal more to whites in battleground states. Then Zeke Miller at BuzzFeed called some other, different people associated with Bill Clinton, and asked them to comment on the document, and made it a story of Clintonites desperately begging Obama to change course before it’s too late.

What's REALLY galling is that while it's Clintonian *policy* that has provided new angst (in the form of the Trans-Pacific Partnership), the strategy document mentioned above by Team Clinton implores Obama to "feel our pain," vis a vis the economy with a message they're calling "The Middle Class Future."
